After 37 years, Jack Kleinsinger is calling it quits. May 13, 2010, will be the last Highlights show, making this an even 300 Highlights in Jazz concerts presented by Jack Kleinsinger. His decision is not an artistic one, he would like to continue to produce Highlights, but a financial one. Jack says “if someone can come up with the financing necessary to produce the annual series, I’ll continue, but with cuts in arts funding and private sponsorships for jazz down, it’s not likely.” Jack Kleinsinger presents Highlights In Jazz, New York's Longest Running Jazz Concert Series in the 37th season, the final year. The Final Show!

Billy Taylor
The distinguished ambassador of the jazz community to the world-at-large, Dr. Billy Taylor's recording career spans nearly six decades. He has also composed over three hundred and fifty songs, including "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free," as well as works for theatre, dance and symphony orchestras. Now in his eighties, and officially retired from active touring and recording, he remains active with his educational activities and a full schedule of speaking engagements and appearances on radio and television.

Ms. Vinnie Knight was born in Harlem, New York and later moved to Brooklyn. At an early age she sang in church choirs and performed in school plays. Her father was singer and guitarist and traveled the world. Vinnie studied dance with ‘La Rocque Dance' theater and music at the ‘Julliard School Of Music' and Kings Borough Community College. The rich voice of Ms. Vinnie Knight has many interpretations of what great American Jazz and blues singers sounds like. http://www.fyicomminc.com/
There are few, if any, continuously working jazz musicians that can match the incredible longevity of clarinetist Sol Yaged. Born in Brooklyn, Yaged has been, with the exception of three years of military service, playing clarinet continuously in and around the NYC area since 1942. He is also a testimony to hard work and the philosophy that if you love something enough, good things will happen. Because of that, even at the age of 84, Yaged's schedule makes him one of the busiest working musicians in the city. (Elliott Simon Allaboutjazz.com) http://www.allaboutjazz.com/
